Web browsers, EWW and Firefox

Ewwwwww…

Wait, no, I mean the Emacs web browser built in to 24.4+

We can browse to anything that looks like a URL with C-x m.

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x m")'browse-url-at-point)

I use EWW as my default browser in Emacs; certain things, I need to jump out of
EWW and in to a real browser with javascript; which I can do if I just hit &
or O – it'll drop me in to a firefox session without a hassle.

There are certain sites that, despite my best abilities, I cannot make work in
EWW. For these, I launch Firefox directly, instead of hitting a silly man in the
middle.
